Obi How We Sympathise.

Mr.. Whitelaw Reid is suffer
ing frequent 'twitches of ex-
treme pain, all on account of
the sad condition of the poor
working people. He has shed a
flood of tears through his N. Y.
Tribune of late because he fears
that if the Democrats are kept in
power the wage-workers will be-
come still worse off, even a race of
paupers. Mr.. Reid is jewel. He
is the sort of friend to the working
men that Jim Blaine is. Reid is
the sole owner Of the only big
newspaper in the city of New York
who refuses to pay the workmen in
his employ according to the rules
of the printers union, and there is
no man in the world who is more
thoroughly despised by the print
ing fraternity, or by the working
classes generally than he is.

The Democratic State Convention.

On last Tuesday the Democratic
State Central Committee met at
the Neil House, Columbus, to fix
the time and select the place for
holding the State convention.
After hearing the claims of both
Columbus and Cleveland, present
ed the Committee selected Cleve-
land as the place, and July 20 and
q as the time.
five were asked to express our
preference as to place and had only
our own locality in view, we would
have chosen Columbus, but we do
not know what the inducements
were that caused the selection of
Cleveland but we prefer to think
the choice correct. The basis of
representation in the convention
will be one delegate for each 500
votes and one for each additional
250 and more cast in each county
for John Mcbride, for Secretary of
State in November last. On this
Ratio Hooking is entitled to four
delegates.

Death Roll.

There is Reaper whose name is Death,
And with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at O breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
1t is not often that in the same
issue of a weekly newspaper, we
are called upon to chronicle the
demise of two persons, at the oppO-
site ends of life's sinuous course,
but such is the case in this instance.
We last week stopped the press
to note the death of Judge Groghan,
the oldest and in his best days one
of the strongest and most eloquent
members of the Hooking County
Bar.
We this week lay before our
readers a short but concise account
of his public life as found in the
memorial as presented to and re-
corded in the journal of the Court.
He was in the sixty-second year of
his life when death called him.
Judge Groghan was never mar
ried and was seldom met in social
gatherings. A man of strong mind,
will power and predudices, he lived
among his books, and his reading
embraced the whole range of liter
ature, of which he had and retained
in his powerful memory, the princi-
pal points.
AS may be well surmised he was
not what may be called close and
critical scholar in any department
of learning, but had on hand and
ready for use In his oratorical dis
plays, a great fund of general in
formation which was sufficiently
accurate to answer his purpose.
In his later years his likes and
dishkes appeared to become inten-
sifled and he was somewhat cynic-

going wrong and he attributed the

That Bulletin Board.

AS will be seen by the proceed
ings of Council published elsewhere,
Councilman Gould presented a Pc
tition to the Council praying the
privilege for Rose & Sulzbacher to
erect q bulletin board on the Mar
ket Square.
The petition was instigated by
the fact that the Market Square is
now enclosed by such contriv-
ance four times as large as that
proposed to be erected by Messrs.
Rose & Sulzbacher. The obstruc-
tion now erected is for the sole ben
eft eff a circus.
Messrs. Rose & Sulzbacher are
resident business men of our town,
here they live, do business and pay
taxes, and to them as citizens and
business men the privilege accord
ed to strangers is refused even O
candid consideration. Are we to
infer from this action that a COM
mon circus is such desirable thing
that special privileges are accorded
to them, or is the Market Square
the special property of every tramp
that comes 10 town. Our authori-
ties will do well to give our resi-
dent business men an even chance,
or deny the foreign element.

bined ignorance and hypocrisy of
the public men Of the day. He
was Notwithstanding an intelligent
conversationalist and genial COM
panion, more inclined to laugh at
what he termed the follies, than to
upbraid the faithlessness of public
men. His remains were taken to
Junction City on Saturday last, and
was inferred in the cemetery of
Saint Patrick's church, where be-
side his father and mother his body
awaits the sound of the trumpet
that shall call forth the dead to judg-
ment.
The other death we are called to
note and mourn is that of one of
one our most loved and loveable
young ladies, Miss Harriet Louise
Acker, who departed on Sunday
afternoon in her 28th year. Miss
Acker was the youngest child of
Judge w. T. Acker, and was the
center of a group of young ladies to
whom she had endeared herself by
her uniform kindness and child
ike disposition. She was q men,
her of the M. E. Church and a de-
vout Christian, and, although great
sufferer for many months, all was
borne with resignation and Chris
tian fortitude.
She has been cut down in the
full bloom of womanhood, like a
flower in the morning when covered
with spangling dew, and nothing is
left to her large circle of friends
save the influence of her pure life
and happy and triumphant death.
Her father, mother, brothers and
sisters have suffered sore bereave-
ment, but in this hour of their
great sorrow the sympathy of the
whole community are with them
for she was beloved by all.

South Perry, Ohio.

May y, 1881.
On April 80, the great ball game
contest was agreeably decided be-
tween the South Perry Magnets,
and the Adelphi Clippers, the
game standing 10 to %, the victory
was decided in favor of the Mag
nets. We will venture to say that
there has not been a more interest
ing game played in this county
than the one here spoken of. Each
played right up to the mark, and
no eXertions were spared whatever.
We understand that the Clippers,
challenged the Magnets for a prac-
tice game before challenging the
Circlevillle Buckeyes. But since
the Magnets came out victorious,
we don't think they will jump
against Circlevilleites.

Democratic hosts in this campaign,

vest of investigation at their hands
will be found at the Ohio Peniten-

crowd, would come from those
prisoners, if they only could be as
sured that the few liberties they
are now allowed, would not be cut
off if they did tell!
Governor Foraker in his "Skin

that the Penitentiary was such an
important State institution that it
formed pretty good gauge of the
success or failure of any admins

Resolutions of Respect.

On Saturday evening the Logan
Bar met and prepared resolutions
published below.
On Monday afternoon, Mr.. 0. w.
III. Wright presented the Resolu-
tions. Judge Friesner, Col. Weldy
and s. H. Bright made remarks
fitting to the occasion, after which
out of respect, Court adjourned.
The following are the Resolu-
tions:
The undersigned Committee
from the Hooking County Bar,
submit the following memoir and
sketch of the services and charact-
er of Judge Grogan, a member of
said Bar, who departed this life on
the 9Th day of May, 1887.
James Raymond Grogan was
born at Lockport, N. Y, October
20, 1925, of Irish parentage. When
one year old his parents, Thomas
and Ruth Bowes Grogan, removed
to Ohio, and settled near Straits
vile, Perry County. He received
an elementary education in the
district schools, but obtained the
greater part of his education by
private study at the Dominican
Convent School of st. Joseph, in
Perry county. He began the study
of law in ls46, and was admitted
to the bar in the fall of l849, but
did not commence the practice of
his profession till 1866. In April
1s47, he was employed in the Quart
ermaster's Department of the U. s.
Army In Mexico, and served until
the end Of the war, being stationed
near Pueblo. After the war he re-
turned to Hooking county. and in
October, ls49, was elected County
Recorder, and reelected in 1852,
serving six years. In ls47 he be-
came editor and proprietor Of the
Hooking Sentinel, which he snc'
cessfglly conducted until ia 1850,
